On
February 26 Truman High School's DECA club and marketing classes hosted its
annual prom fashion show.
The
theme this year for prom is masquerade. Thanks to Linda Szabo, Bianca Warner,
and Alexandra Rice our newly renovated little theatre was transformed into a
beautifully designed runway for our models.
The
show was a great success. It started with DECA's very own Lakesha Chaffold
singing the national anthem, bringing the house down with her amazing voice.
From that point the emcees for the show, Bianca Warner and Alexa Bailey, took
over and hosted a beautiful show. Also during the show four lucky audience
members won gift certificates donated from Yazee's Boutique. Two were for $80
and two were for $60.
Everyone
would like to thank vendors Men’s Wearhouse, located at 23000 Eureka,
and Yazee’s Boutique, located at 10155 Telegraph, for allowing the group
to showcase their beautiful new prom clothing lines this year. Both companies
have donated money to the DECA club and marketing program and are offering
great promotions for this year’s prom season.
Anyone
renting a tux from Men's Wearhouse or buying a dress from Yazees will
receive a discount, so please see a DECA member for information on the prom program
for both stores. For every tux and dress purchased for this prom season, each
store will be donating $10 to the DECA club.
Thank
you’s go out to Hannah Jones for putting together the music and the
administration and board office for allowing the group to have this event
during school hours.
DECA
wants to thank Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Wagel and Mrs. Rowlings for helping with
chaperoning the event, and the Truman staff for all of their support of the
marketing students.
The
marketing students put together the entire fashion show using skills and
knowledge for sales, promotion, marketing, visual merchandising, organization,
time management, ticket design, advertising as well as professional emails and
phone calls to vendors. This was a great hands-on learning experience for the
students and DECA wants to thank everyone who bought a ticket to come out and
support the students.
The
money raised will help send students to nationals for DECA in Nashville in
April.
